A football fan has stolen media attention in Italy after being the only supporter to show up to watch his club play an away game in the top league.

Udinese fan Arrigo Brovedani was the club's sole supporter in Genoa for a Serie A match against local team Sampdoria.

The 30-something wine merchant found himself alone in the visitors' section.

But Sampdoria stewards gave him coffee and home fans invited him for a drink after the match.

I always take my flag and scarf around - they're always in the car with me”

Mr Brovedani told the BBC he had not expected to find many fellow supporters from Udinese, one of the smaller clubs in Serie A.

It was a cold Monday night and Udinese never attracts more than 50 or 60 away fans.

ZING!

Awesome fan, at least he doesn't mind travelling to support the club, although may be too much for other supporters at times. Thank goodness as KCN said, the home fans weren't hsotile towards him.

I used to go to local games where about 3 cars of opposition supporters may turn up. A coffee and a pie always broke the ice...a great story.. ;D
